The drivers head to a another different and diverse road course on the schedule, Mexico City. Ran by many other sanctioned events in motorsports, the country of Mexico seeked to find its place onto the HNS schedule, and with success they managed to snatch a date on the calendar for 2018. With several twists and turns, as well as the notorious straightaway that the Formula 1 venue tends to use as a DRS zone for overtaking opportunities.

TJ Martin currently holds a 10 point cushion over Jake West. Martin came off of a strong victory at New Hampshire, with West finishing second right behind him. Their sheer consistency has been mostly unbreakable, and it has really irked many drivers besides West and Martin, as they themselves are hoping the both of them would crack more under pressure. However, as like many other road courses, we can see some new faces, or even drivers that rarely showcase their potential, though the amount of straightaways will differentiate the sheer horsepower between the big and the small teams. With a new qualifying system for 2019, many teams are scrambling to put their cars inside the top 30, so that they can be safe for the 2019 season when it comes to the first 5 races of the season.

It is not surprising to see the sheer amount of talent the Hardee's National Series drivers showcase, but Cory Williams really stunned a few people as he earned the pole by a few hundredths over Eric Demax, who had just come off of a race in Super Formula during the off week. Road America winner Alex Benyacko qualified a solid 3rd, while Canadian Tire winner James Richardson would qualify 9th. Blaze McKinney has showcased some speed throughout the weekend, and gave the Fisher Motorsports entry a 4th place qualifying run, as the Toyota's are trying to gain more momentum for 2019. The top 2 in points of TJ Martin and Jake West weren't as fortunate in qualifying, but they would qualify literally next to each other, in 15th and 16th, respectively.
